• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, subsequently, since the Mover of this Motion, Mr. Wamalwa, is in a formidable alliance and the Ministry of Agriculture is in the process and undertakes that we will finalize this study in the course of this year. We cannot foresee us implementing it before the next election. I want to call upon Mr. Wamalwa and his alliance once they form the next Government in 2012, they implement the report of this House. So, it will be the onus of the--- view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has nothing to do with the KKK. Mr. Wamalwa is nowhere in KKK and there is nothing like KKK. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for your protection. view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only said that the Mover of this Motion is a presidential candidate and since the Ministry of Agriculture is in the process of conducting this study and if the good Lord answers his prayers and he becomes the president of this country or anybody else, he should be able to implement the report of this study which will be beneficial to this country. This is because we have conducted very many studies, and as a Grand Coalition Government, we are in the process of ensuring that we conduct a comprehensive study which will guide ... view
• 30 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for the protection. I think I have been quite clear. I am only referring to the Mover of this particular Motion, Mr. Eugene Wamalwa, who harbours presidential ambition. We are saying that as the Grand Coalition Government, the study will be completed but the implementation will come in the next financial year. Whoever will be humbled enough to be the President of this country should give an undertaking that they are going to implement this noble project. Finally, as I support this Motion, I would like to assure the people of Kenya of ... view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry of Agriculture is distributing the already procured 60,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer to all NCPB stores. Kisii has already received 2,000 bags of DAP fertilizer, while 11,700 bags of DAP fertilizer is in transit to each of the following stations: Migori, Awendo and Kehancha. (b)The selling price of the subsidized 50kg bag of DAP at an NCPB depot is Kshs2,500. Delays in availing fertilizer at many depots is caused by problems of transport. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to acknowledge that the Ministry of Agriculture delayed in the procurement of fertilizer. From the word go we had not got the clearance from the Treasury; we obtained it on 28th January 2011. Subsequently, we were able, through the NCPB, to contract a trading company to procure fertilizer. I want to tender an apology on behalf of the Government for the delay in the fertilizer procurement. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, along with the NCPB depots, we are also using the District Agricultural Officers’ godowns to supply the fertilizer at the divisional level. From the depot level, we will go to the district level and then the divisional level. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure this House that the Ministry of Agriculture has already advertised for the procurement of fertilizer. The advertisement closed last week. With that one, we will be able to have enough stock to take care of the long range, up to and including next year. So, this time round, we are prepared. view
• 29 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I concur that the delay will result into decreased yield. I would like the hon. Members to appreciate that from the time when we got the clearance to start the procurement process, we have really moved with a lot of speed. I would like to assure this House that before the end of this week, all our main depots at the district and divisional level will have sufficient stocks of fertilizer. I sincerely apologize for the delay. We know that it is going to cause reduction in production in one area. view
